Use the following steps to install the mssql-tools18 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Download the Microsoft Red Hat repository configuration file.

For Red Hat 9, use the following command:

curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/rhel/9/prod.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/mssql-release.repo

For Red Hat 8, use the following command:

curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/rhel/8/prod.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/mssql-release.repo

For Red Hat 7, use the following command:

curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/rhel/7/prod.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/mssql-release.repo

If you had a previous version of mssql-tools installed, remove any older unixODBC packages.
```
sudo yum remove mssql-tools unixODBC-utf16 unixODBC-utf16-devel
```
Run the following commands to install mssql-tools18 with the unixODBC developer package.
```
sudo yum install -y mssql-tools18 unixODBC-devel
```
To update to the latest version of mssql-tools, run the following commands:
```
sudo yum check-update
sudo yum update mssql-tools18
```
Optional: Add /opt/mssql-tools18/bin/ to your PATH environment variable in a bash shell.

To make sqlcmd and bcp accessible from the bash shell for login sessions, modify your PATH in the ~/.bash_profile file with the following command:
```
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/opt/mssql-tools18/bin"' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
```
To make sqlcmd and bcp accessible from the bash shell for interactive/non-login sessions, modify the PATH in the ~/.bashrc file with the following command:
```
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/opt/mssql-tools18/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
```
